How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gritty revenge thriller that pits urban cop culture against rural justice, driven by two brothers taking the law into their own hands to avenge their sibling's death. It's propulsive and uncompromising in its depiction of grief turned to violence.
